Interaction with a Collaborative Robot using Augmented Reality
Zmrzlý, Daniel ; Milet, Tomáš (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the implementation of the possibility of interaction with a collaborative robot using Microsoft HoloLens 2 technology in an augmented reality environment. The work builds on the existing AREditor solution for tablet devices and adds the missing AREditor functionality to Microsoft HoloLens 2 glasses. Using these glasses and the ARCOR2 framework, it is possible to manipulate the physical robot and its model. In the initial phase of the implementation, several approaches were proposed for the user to interact with the robot, and then the solution with the most positive response was selected. The final solution succumbed to user experiments where participants evaluated the usability and compared the final solution of the two AREditors.

Visualization Tool for a Drone Pilot in HoloLens Headset
Komárek, Jakub ; Beran, Vítězslav (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is the creation of a modern tool to facilitate the operation of drones, especially in professional sphere. The tool created by the author aims to facilitate the planning routine of the usual missions drones and help in its safe execution. The tool was also created with regard to the legislative restrictions on drone operations and contributes to their correct compliance. The author has addressed the issue with the help of a client-server application created in an augmented reality environment in HoloLens 2. The assistance in piloting is to be provided by a "heads up display" component that moves along with the drone and displays flight variables around it along with the video feed from the drone's camera. To facilitate mission planning, a 3D mini-map is implemented that provides information about the planned mission is projected onto the world around the pilot. The thesis is experimental in nature and has to determine the applicability of augmented reality in the professional operation of the drone. The results of the work are evaluated from data collected during extensive user testing, which included Comparison of the existing Litchi application with the developed application in the prepared test environment scenarios. The results showed that the interface is usable and can compete reasonably current conventional solutions. In some aspects the existing interface outperforms.

Head-Mounted Display or Tablet? Device Usability in the Context of Programming Robotic Workplaces
Kníže, Josef ; Milet, Tomáš (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
This thesis focuses on usability comparison of head-mounted display Microsoft HoloLens 2 and tablet in context of programming robotic workplace using augmented reality. The existing interfaces for these devices are analyzed, and a user experiment was designed and conducted to compare them, involving a total of 18 participants who tested and evaluated both devices in two iterations. Based on feedback from the first iteration, many changes were proposed and implemented in the HoloLens 2 interface. Key changes included porting the entire application to newest framework for mixed reality, programming through scene interaction, reworking robot placements, and adding parameter configuration and action placement through the robot. The new version of the interface was tested in the second iteration of experiments, revealing that users are 32,3 % faster when using HoloLens 2 and they rate usability and user experience better compared to tablet. Surprisingly, there was no significant difference measured in user mental or physical load between the devices.

Robotic Workplace Programming Using the HoloLens Headset
Kolařík, Petr ; Milet, Tomáš (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of Microsoft Hololens 2 glasses in a robotic workplace. It follows the diploma thesis of ing. Simona Hiadlovská and the existing AREditor user interface connected to ARServer. The first goal of the work was to improve the way of adding objects at a greater distance. Three methods are proposed and compared for this problem: the first is adding at a fixed distance of one meter in the direction of the hand, the second is adding on a perpendicular line drawn from the point of contact between the pointer and the table and then adjusting the height by pulling the hand, and the last is adding also on a perpendicular line but adjusting the height by tapping. The second objective of the work was to devise a method of selecting one object from a cluster of objects. In this case, the methods of simple selection using the pointer, expanding objects from the surroundings and displaying an interactive list of objects are compared.

Visualization Tool for Drone Pilot in Microsoft HoloLens 2
Kyjac, Martin ; Herout, Adam (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
When piloting a drone, the pilot must monitor both the drone itself and various flight data. This activity requires constant concentration and even less inattention can lead to an accident. Especially when flying at greater distances, the pilot can very easily lose track of where the drone is located, which side it is heading to, or how high it is. To verify this information, it is necessary in common applications to tilt the head and thus lose sight of the drone because this data is located on the controller, which the pilot holds in his hands. This context switching is very impractical. The goal of this application is to visualize this data using augmented reality displayed through Microsoft Hololens 2. All necessary flight data is displayed using holograms at the exact same position where the drone itself is in the sky, so the pilot does not have to switch between contexts. It is also much easier to display various elements of the mission in this way. Normally in such cases, the pilot has to somehow interpret the data from the 2D map into reality, which can be challenging. However, with augmented reality, this data can be displayed directly into the real world.

Augmented Reality with Haptical Feedback
Frýz, Jakub ; Beran, Vítězslav (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
Augmented reality lacks haptics. I try to solve this problem with the help of augmented reality glasses HoloLens 2 communicating via HTTP with Stratos Explore, a board simulating touch using ultrasound. I created two applications, the game Whack-A-Mole and the audio player, to demonstrate the connection between these technologies. Finally, testing was performed on a sample of potential users.

Robotic Workplace Programming Using Microsoft HoloLens 2
Hiadlovská, Simona ; Beran, Vítězslav (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
This thesis focuses on usability of mixed reality head-mounted display - Microsoft HoloLens in programming a robotic workplace. Use of the headset is demonstrated by created user interface. The thesis builds on the existing user interface-- AREditor connected to ARServer. It allows the user to add and manipulate with 3D objects of robots and collision objects to the workplace scene. Subsequently, users can add specific tasks to the created scenes, in which they can use 3D action objects and action points to determine the type of action and the place of its execution. User can combine actions by links that determine the order in which actions are performed. All functions are available in a simple menu, which is displayed to the user whenever he looks at his hand. The resulting user interface is tested using user experiments, where the participants of the experiment tested the designed user interface and the existing AREditor interface in simple tasks.

Visualization Tool for a Drone Pilot in Microsoft HoloLens 2
Václavík, Marek ; Kapinus, Michal (referee) ; Bambušek, Daniel (advisor)
Controlling a drone can feel like a difficult task. Numerous different usage possibilities, together with increasing interest there is even bigger need for advanced tools that allow user to control these robots. In many sectors, auto-pilot programs are used that provide a bit of automatization for repetitive tasks. However, there are many situations that require manual approach of the pilot. Such person needs constant live information about the drone, its position, and surroundings. Due to these dependencies, the pilot requires reliable tool that would allow him to control the drone. Widely used application use screen to display such information. Pilot is then forced to switch between multiple contexts and must compromise his concentration. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explore the existing possibility of such application in augmented reality. The goal is to create an environment which would lighten the task of controlling the drone for the pilot. As the device that allows the user to work with augmented reality, this thesis introduces Microsoft Hololens 2. These glasses can display information through the developed application which is needed for controlling a drone. Needed information are displayed directly in real-time while the pilot is also aware of many other data used for completing the tasks. The aim is to reduce the disorientation of the pilot.
